Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium metal batteries have garnered considerable interests owing to their low cost, flexibility, lightweight, and favorable interfacial compatibility with battery electrodes. Their soft mechanical nature compared to solid inorganic electrolytes give them a large advantage to be used in low pressure solid-state lithium metal batteries, which can avoid the cost and weight of the pressure cages. However, the application of SPEs is hindered by their relatively low ionic conductivity. In addressing this limitation, enormous efforts are devoted to the experimental investigation and theoretical calculations/simulation of new polymer classes. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been shown to be effective in enhancing ion transport in SPEs. However, the mechanisms in enhancing Li+ conductivity have rarely been systematically and comprehensively analyzed. Therefore, this review provides an in-depth summary of the mechanisms of MOF-enhanced Li+ transport in MOF-based solid polymer electrolytes (MSPEs) in terms of polymer, MOF, MOF/polymer interface, and solid electrolyte interface aspects, respectively. Moreover, the understanding of Li+ conduction mechanisms through employing advanced characterization tools, theoretical calculations, and simulations are also reviewed in this review. Finally, the main challenges in developing MSPEs are deeply analyzed and the corresponding future research directions are also proposed.

Abstract
In the current challenging energy storage and conversion landscape, solid-state lithium metal batteries with high energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, and high safety stand out. Due to the limitations of material properties, it is difficult to achieve the ideal requirements of solid electrolytes with a single-phase electrolyte. A composite solid electrolyte is composed of two or more different materials. Composite electrolytes can simultaneously offer the advantages of multiple materials. Through different composite methods, the merits of various materials can be incorporated into the most essential part of the battery in a specific form. Currently, more and more researchers are focusing on composite methods for combining components in composite electrolytes. The ion transport capacity, interface stability, machinability, and safety of electrolytes can be significantly improved by selecting appropriate composite methods. This review summarizes the composite methods used for the components of composite electrolytes, such as filler blending, embedded framework, and multilayer bonding. It also discusses the future development trends of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs).

Abstract
Thin and flexible solid-state electrolyte (SSE) films with high ionic conductivity and low interfacial resistance are urgently required for lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, it's still challenging to reduce the film thickness to <20 µm, especially for those with high ceramic contents. Herein, a facile slurry casting method is developed to prepare the ultra-thin (14 µm) Li3Zr2Si2PO12 (LZSP) films with ceramic content up to 91% using a composite polymer binder, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyethylene oxide (PEO). It shows that PEO not only enhanced the film flexibility but also makes it be easily peeled off to form a freestanding membrane, PLN. To promote the interfacial ion transport, PEO/lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) is introduced to the film surface, and the resultant tri-layer film, PPLN, shows a satisfying room temperature ionic conductivity of 0.116 mS cm-1, high Li+ transference number of 0.79, and good compatibility with metal lithium. As a result, LMBs using LiFePO4 cathode and PPLN electrolyte exhibit excellent safety as well as electrochemical performances in the wide temperature range between room temperature (RT) and 100 °C.

Abstract
The development of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) effectively solves the safety problem derived from dendrite growth and volume change of lithium during cycling. In the meantime, the SSEs possess non-flammability compared to conventional organic liquid electrolytes. Replacing liquid electrolytes with SSEs to assemble all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) has garnered significant attention as a promising energy storage/conversion technology for the future. Herein, a composite solid electrolyte containing two inorganic components (Li6.25Al0.25La3Zr2O12, Al2O3) and an organic polyvinylidene difluoride matrix is designed rationally. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation results demonstrate the synergistic effect among the components, which results in enhanced ionic conductivity, high lithium-ion transference number, extended electrochemical window, and outstanding dual interface compatibility. As a result, Li||Li symmetric battery maintains a stable cycle for over 2500 h. Moreover, all-solid-state lithium metal battery assembled with LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode delivers a high discharge capacity of 168 mAh g-1 after 360 cycles at 0.1 C at 25 °C, and all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery also exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 912 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C. This work demonstrates a long-life flexible composite solid electrolyte with excellent interface compatibility, providing an innovative way for the rational construction of next-generation high-energy-density ASSLMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have attracted extensive interests due to the advantages in developing secondary batteries with high energy density and outstanding safety. Possessing high ionic conductivity and the lowest reduction potential among the state-of-the-art SSEs, the garnet type SSE is one of the most promising candidates to achieve high performance solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs). However, the elastic modulus of the garnet electrolyte leads to deteriorated interfacial contacts, and the increasing in electronic conduction at either anode/garnet interface or grain boundary results in Li dendrite growth. Here, recent developments of the solid interfaces for the garnet electrolytes, including the strategies of Li dendrite suppression and interfacial chemical/electrochemical/mechanical stabilizations are presented. A new viewpoint of the double edges of interfacial lithiophobicity is proposed, and the rational design of the interphases, as well as effective stacking methods of the garnet-based SSLBs are summarized. Moreover, practical roles of the garnet electrolyte in SSLB industry are also discussed. This work delivers insights into the solid interfaces for the garnet electrolytes, which provides not only the promotion of the garnet-based SSLBs, but also a comprehensive understanding of the interfacial stabilization for the whole SSE family.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state batteries fabricated by printing techniques are promising integrated power supplies for miniaturized and customized electronic devices. While typically these batteries use polymer solid electrolytes, a flexible Li2S cathode with sulfide solid electrolyte is spray-printed in this work, by using solvated Li3PS4 nanoparticles as inorganic ion-conductive binder. This benefits from a novel low-temperature-sintering property of these nanoparticles, which can be pressure-free densified, along with the desolvation process, and thus bind the cathode at 250 °C. The battery can be stably charged and discharged for 300 cycles with no stacking pressure, and the capacity maintains at 840 mA h gLi2 S-1. We believe this low-temperature-sintering phenomenon of solid electrolyte nanoparticles will open a new path toward the application of sulfide solid electrolytes in printed solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Flexible membranes with ultrathin thickness and excellent mechanical properties have shown great potential for broad uses in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), on-skin electronics, etc. However, an ultrathin membrane (<5 μm) is rarely reported in the above applications due to the inherent trade-off between thickness and antifailure ability. We discover a protic solvent penetration strategy to prepare ultrathin, ultrastrong layered films through a continuous interweaving of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) with the assistance of simultaneous protonation and penetration of a protic solvent. The thickness of a pure ANF film can be controlled below 5 μm, with a tensile strength of 556.6 MPa, allowing us to produce the thinnest SPE (3.4 μm). The resultant SPEs enable Li-S batteries to cycle over a thousand times at a high rate of 1C due to the small ionic impedance conferred by the ultrathin characteristic and regulated ionic transportation. Besides, a high loading of the sulfur cathode (4 mg cm-2) with good sulfur utilization was achieved at a mild temperature (35 °C), which is difficult to realize in previously reported solid-state Li-S batteries. Through a simple laminating process at the wet state, the thicker film (tens of micrometers) obtained exhibits mechanical properties comparable to those of thin films and possesses the capability to withstand high-velocity projectile impacts, indicating that our technique features a high degree of thickness controllability. We believe that it can serve as a valuable tool to assemble nanomaterials into ultrathin, ultrastrong membranes for various applications.

Abstract
NASICON-type Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) has attracted a lot of attention because of its high ionic conductivity and stability to air and moisture. However, the size effect of LATP primary particles on ionic conductivity is ignored. In this study, different sizes of LATP particles are prepared to investigate the morphology, relative density, and ionic conductivity of the LATP solid electrolyte. The influences of particle size and sintering temperature on the microstructure, phase composition, and electrical properties of LATP ceramics were systematically studied. The medium-sized LATP particle (2 μm) presents a great microstructure with a high relative density of over 97%, the highest ionic conductivity of 6.7 × 10-4 S cm-1, and an activation energy of 0.418 eV. The Li-Li symmetric cells and Li-LFP batteries delivering good electrochemical performance were fabricated with highly conductive LATP ceramics. These results make significant strides in elucidating the relationship between the particle sizes of LATP and its electrochemical performance.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) enabled by solid-state electrolytes (SEs) including oxide-based and sulfide-based electrolytes have gained worldwide attention because of their intrinsic safety and higher energy density over conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, despite the high ionic conductivity of advanced SEs, ASSBs still exhibit high overall internal resistance, the most significant contributor of which can be ascribed to the cathode-SE interfaces. This review seeks to clarify the critical issues regarding the cathode-SE interfaces, including fundamental principles and corresponding solutions. First, major issues concerning electro-chemo-mechanical instability between cathodes and SEs and their formation mechanisms are discussed. Then, specific problems in oxides and sulfides and various solutions and strategies toward interfacial modifications are highlighted. Efforts toward the characterization and analysis of cathode-SE interfaces with advanced techniques are also summarized. Finally, perspectives are offered on several problems demanding urgent solutions and the future development of SE applications and ASSBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries have piqued global research interest because of their unprecedented safety and high energy density. Significant advances have been made in achieving high room-temperature ionic conductivity and good air stability of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), mitigating the challenges at the electrode-electrolyte interface, and developing feasible manufacturing processes. Along with the advances in fundamental study, all-solid-state pouch cells using inorganic SSEs have been widely demonstrated, revealing their immense potential for industrialization. This review provides an overview of inorganic all-solid-state pouch cells, focusing on ultrathin SSE membranes, sheet-type thick solid-state electrodes, and bipolar stacking. Moreover, several critical parameters directly influencing the energy density of all-solid-state Li-ion and lithium-sulfur pouch cells are outlined. Finally, perspectives on all-solid-state pouch cells are provided and specific metrics to meet certain energy density targets are specified. This review looks to facilitate the development of inorganic all-solid-state pouch cells with high energy density and excellent safety.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are deemed as a class of sought-after candidates for high-safety and high-energy-density solid-state lithium metal batteries, but their low ionic conductivity, narrow electrochemical windows, and severe interfacial deterioration limit their practical implementations. Herein, an organoboron- and cyano-grafted polymer electrolyte (PVNB) was designed using vinylene carbonate as the polymer backbone and organoboron-modified poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate and acrylonitrile as the grafted phases, which may facilitate Li-ion transport, immobilize the anions, and enlarge the oxidation voltage window; therefore, the well-tailored PVNB exhibits a high Li-ion transference number (tLi+ = 0.86), a wide electrochemical window (>5 V), and a high ionic conductivity (σ = 9.24 × 10-4 S cm-1) at room temperature (RT). As a result, the electrochemical cyclability and safety of the Li|LiFePO4 and Li|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells with in situ polymerization of PVNB are substantially improved by forming the stable organic-inorganic composite cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) and the Li3N-LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), with their exceptional attributes, have captured the attention of researchers. They offer a viable solution to the inherent flaws of traditional lithium-ion batteries. The crux of an ASSLB lies in its solid-state electrolyte (SSE) which shows higher stability and safety compared to liquid electrolyte. Additionally, it holds the promise of being compatible with Li metal anode, thereby realizing higher capacity. Inorganic SSEs have undergone tremendous developments in the last few decades; however, their practical applications still face difficulties such as the electrode-electrolyte interface, air stability, and so on. The structural composition of inorganic electrolytes is inherently linked to the advantages and difficulties they present. This article provides a comprehensive explanation of the development, structure, and Li-ion transport mechanism of representative inorganic SSEs. Moreover, corresponding difficulties such as interface issues and air stability as well as possible solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
Li dendrites form in Li7 La3 Zr2 O12 (LLZO) solid electrolytes due to intrinsic volume changes of Li and the appearance of voids at the Li metal/LLZO interface. Bilayer dense-porous LLZO membranes make for a compelling solution of this pertinent challenge in the field of Li-garnet solid-state batteries (SSB). Lithium is thus stored in the pores of the LLZO, thereby avoiding i) dynamic changes of the anode volume and ii) the formation of voids during Li stripping due to increased surface area of the Li/LLZO interface. The dense layer then additionally reduces the probability of short circuits during cell charging. In this work, a method for producing such bilayer membranes utilizing sequential tape-casting of porous and dense layers is reported. The minimum attainable thicknesses are 8-10 µm for dense and 32-35 µm for porous layers, enabling gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of Li-garnet SSBs of 279 Wh kg-1 and 1003 Wh L-1 , respectively. Bilayer LLZO membranes in symmetrical cell configuration exhibit high critical current density up to 6 mA cm-2 and cycling stability of over 160 cycles at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 at an areal capacity limitation of 0.25 mAh cm-2 .

Abstract
Ceramic electrolytes hold application prospects in all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB). However, the ionic conductivity of ceramic electrolytes is limited by their large thickness and intrinsic resistance. To cope with this challenge, a two-dimensional (2D) vermiculite film has been successfully prepared by self-assembling expanded vermiculite nanosheets. The raw vermiculite mineral is first exfoliated to thin sheets of several atomic layers with about 1.2 nm interlayer channels by a thermal expansion and ionic exchanging treatment. Then, through vacuum filtration, the ion-exchanged expanded vermiculite (IEVMT) sheets can be assembled into thin films with a controllable thickness. Benefiting from the thin thickness and naturally lamellar framework, the as-prepared IEVMT thin film exhibits excellent ionic conductivity of 0.310 S·cm-1 at 600 °C with low excitation energy. In addition, the IEVMT thin film demonstrates good mechanical and thermal stability with a low coefficient of friction of 0.51 and a low thermal conductivity of 3.9 × 10-3 W·m-1·K-1. This reveals that reducing the thickness and utilizing the framework is effective in increasing the ionic conductivity and provides a promising stable and low-cost candidate for high-performance solid electrolytes.

Abstract
AgNbO3-based Pb-free antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have attracted increasing interest owing to their excellent potential in energy storage applications. Herein, a high recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) of 7.62 J/cm3 is realized in La-doped AgNbO3 ceramics prepared via tape casting. The high Wrec is attributed to high breakdown strength Eb of 380 kV/cm induced by dense microstructure as well as fine grain size and enhanced AFE stability stemming from M2 phase and reduced tolerance factor t. The high Wrec exceeding 6 J/cm3 was maintained in a wide temperature range of 20-150 °C and exhibited frequency stability with less than 8% variation in a range of 1-200 Hz. The discharge energy density Wd exhibited temperature stability at 30-110 °C with less than 9% variation. Our research provides a good method for producing AgNbO3-based ceramics having high energy storage performances.

Abstract
Ceramic/polymer composite solid electrolytes integrate the high ionic conductivity of in ceramics and the flexibility of organic polymers. In practice, ceramic/polymer composite solid electrolytes are generally made into thin films rather than sintered into bulk due to processing temperature limitations. In this work, Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO)/polyethylene-oxide (PEO) electrolyte containing bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) as the lithium salt was successfully fabricated into bulk pellets via the cold sintering process (CSP). Using CSP, above 80% dense composite electrolyte pellets were obtained, and a high Li-ion conductivity of 2.4 × 10−4 S cm–1 was achieved at room temperature. This work focuses on the conductivity contributions and microstructural development within the CSP process of composite solid electrolytes. Cold sintering provides an approach for bridging the gap in processing temperatures of ceramics and polymers, thereby enabling high-performance composites for electrochemical systems.

Abstract
Perovskite La2/3xLi3xTiO3 (LLTO) materials are promising solid-state electrolytes for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to their intrinsic fire-resistance, high bulk ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical window. However, their commercialization is hampered by high interfacial resistance, dendrite formation, and instability against Li metal. To address these challenges, we first prepared highly dense LLTO pellets with enhanced microstructure and high bulk ionic conductivity of 2.1×10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature. Then, the LLTO pellets were coated with three polymer-based interfacial layers, including pure (polyethylene oxide) (PEO), dry polymer electrolyte of PEO-LITFSI (lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) (PL), and gel PEO-LiTFSI-SN (succinonitrile) (PLS). It is found that each layer has impacted the interface differently; the soft PLS gel layer significantly reduced the total resistance of LLTO to a low value of 84.88 Ω cm−2. Interestingly, PLS layer has shown excellent ionic conductivity but performs inferior in symmetric Li cells. On the other hand, the PL layer significantly reduces lithium nucleation overpotential and shows a stable voltage profile after 20 cycles without any sign of Li dendrite formation. This work demonstrates that LLTO electrolytes with denser microstructure could reduce the interfacial resistance and when combined with polymeric interfaces show improved chemical stability against Li metal.

Abstract
Long processing time and high temperatures are often required in sintering ceramic electrolytes, which lead to volatile element loss and high cost. Here, an ultrafast sintering method of microwave-induced carbothermal shock to fabricate various ceramic electrolytes in seconds is reported. Furthermore, it is also possible to integrate the electrode and electrolyte in one step by simultaneous co-sintering. Based on this ultrafast co-sintering technique, an all-solid-state lithium-metal battery with a high areal capacity is successfully achieved, realizing a promising electrochemical performance at room temperature. This method can extend to other various ceramic multilayer-based solid devices.

Abstract
Development of a composite electrolyte with high ionic conductivity, excellent electrochemical stability and preeminent mechanical strength is beneficial for suppressing Li-dendrite penetration and unstable interfacial reactions in solid-state Li-metal batteries. Herein, a novel composite electrolyte material comprising perovskite Li0.485La0.505TiO3 (LLTO), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and a barium titanate (BTO)-polyimide (PI) composite matrix has been successfully fabricated. Benefiting from the well-defined ion channels, the resulting BTO-PI@LLTO-PEO-FEC-LiTFSI (BP@LPFL) exhibits excellent cycling stability, low interfacial resistance, enhanced mechanical strength, and high ionic conductivity. Particularly, BP@LPFL possesses an excellent ionic conductivity of 3.0 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature and achieves a wide electrochemical window of 5.2 V (vs. Li+/Li). For Li-LiFePO4 batteries, such an ingenious structure yields a discharge capacity of 124 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C after 200 cycles at room temperature and delivers a discharge capacity of 165 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C after 110 cycles at 60 °C. Additionally, the symmetric Li cell remains stable after 700 h at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2. Furthermore, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ex situ scanning electron microscopy were used to verify the interface evolution. Besides, a flexible full battery is fabricated, which exhibits impressive performance. These properties presented here provide support for BP@LPFL as a feasible candidate electrolyte for solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state K-ion conducting electrolytes are key elements to address the current problems in K secondary batteries. Here, we report a sulfide-based K-ion conductor K3 SbS4 with a low-activation energy of 0.27 eV. W-doped K3-x Sb1-x Wx S4 (x=0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 and 0.12) compounds were also explored for increasing vacancy concentrations and improving ionic conductivity. Among them, K2.92 Sb0.92 W0.08 S4 exhibits the highest conductivity of 1.4×10-4 S cm-1 at 40 °C, which is among the best reported potassium-ion conductors at ambient temperature. In addition, K2.92 Sb0.92 W0.08 S4 is electrochemically stable with long-chained potassium polysulfide of K2 Sx . A room-temperature solid potassium-sulfur (K-S) battery system has therefore been successfully demonstrated, which is the first K-S battery prototype using non-commercial inorganic-based electrolyte to block the polysulfide shuttle.

Abstract
Ti3 C2 Tx , as a newly investigated 2D material, has gained great attention owing to its metallic conductivity, tunable work function (WF ), and unique electrical property. However, its WF can be further adjusted to meet the needs of optoelectronic devices. Here, surface-engineered Ti3 C2 Tx is fabricated with tunable WF by treating with ethanolamine and rhodium chloride (RhCl3 ). Ethanolamine treated Ti3 C2 Tx can induce the chemical adsorption of NH2 on Ti3 C2 Tx with hydrogen-bonding, which causes the decreased WF , while chemical doping with RhCl3 leads to the improvement of WF , which is achieved by the downshift of Femi level of Ti3 C2 Tx . Moreover, the ethanolamine and RhCl3 can effectively passivate the vacancies of Ti. As such, the surface-engineered Ti3 C2 Tx is more suitable as buffer layer for polymer solar cells (PSCs) by enhancing the interfacing characteristics of the Ti3 C2 Tx /active layer. The PSCs with engineered Ti3 C2 Tx for electron or hole transport layers can exhibit a power conversion efficiency of 15.88% or 15.54%. These efficiencies can be compared with those of devices with a conventional transport layer. This work provides a facile strategy to realize the work function tunability of Ti3 C2 Tx , and also shows that the tuned Ti3 C2 Tx has a certain application prospect in photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
Due to the growing energy and safety demands, rechargeable all-solid-state Li+ batteries using metallic Li anode and ceramic-based electrolytes have attracted extensive attentions. However, the inherent safety problem of Li metal anode, the ceramic-electrode low Li+ conductivity, and the high electrolyte/electrode solid-solid interfacial impedance slow the development of high-performance all-solid-state batteries. In this work, a three-layer all ceramic battery with Li4 Ti5 O12 ceramic as anode, LiCoO2 as cathode, and Li0.34 La0.56 TiO3 as electrolyte to solve the safety problem is proposed. The low Li+ conductivity of electrodes are effectively addressed by fabricating the electrode/electrolyte composite electrodes in 3D vertically aligned microchannel structures. The large interfacial impedance is greatly reduced by co-constructing the microchannel-dense-microchannel structure with high Li+ conducting electrolytes. Experimental results reveal that a working cell by applying the 3D vertically aligned microchannel three-layer all ceramic structure enables high energy storage at 2 C rate and long cycling stability for more than 500 times.

Abstract
An all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (ASSLSB) is a promising candidate for post-Li-ion battery technologies with high energy densities and good safety performance. However, the intrinsic insulating nature of sulfur requires triple-phase contact with an ionic conductor and an electronic conductor for electrochemical reactions, which decreases the amount of active surface and lowers the charge-transfer efficiency. In this work, a double-phase interface constructed from a mixed ionic/electronic conductor is proposed to enhance the solid-state electrochemical reaction of sulfur. By employing lithium lanthanum titanium oxide/carbon (LLTO/C) nanofibers with mixed ionic/electronic conductivity, enhanced charge-transfer behavior is realized at the sulfur-LLTO/C double-phase interface, compared to the traditional triple-phase interface. As a result, high sulfur utilization and excellent rate performance are achieved. And the facilitated charge transfer shows great potential to lower the operating temperature and improve the sulfur content for practical applications of ASSLSBs. Cycle performance is also enhanced due to the suppressed shuttle effect of polysulfides by the incorporation of the LLTO/C nanofibers.

Abstract
Inorganic superionic conductor holds great promise for high-performance all-solid-state lithium batteries. However, the ionic conductivity of traditional inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) is always unsatisfactory owing to the grain boundary resistance and large thickness. Here, a 13 μm-thick laminar framework with ≈1.3 nm interlayer channels is fabricated by self-assembling rigid, hydrophilic vermiculite (Vr) nanosheets. Then, Li0.33 La0.557 TiO3 (LLTO) precursors are impregnated in interlayer channels and afterwards in situ sintered to large-size, oriented, and defect-free LLTO crystal. We demonstrate that the confinement effect permits ordered arrangement of LLTO crystal along the c-axis (the fastest Li+ transfer direction), permitting the resultant 15 μm-thick Vr-LLTO electrolyte an ionic conductivity of 8.22×10-5 S cm-1 and conductance of 87.2 mS at 30 °C. These values are several times' higher than that of traditional LLTO-based electrolytes. Moreover, Vr-LLTO electrolyte has a compressive modulus of 1.24 GPa. Excellent cycling performance is demonstrated with all-solid-state Li/LiFePO4 battery.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have become increasingly important in recent years due to their potential to offer higher energy density and enhanced safety compared to conventional liquid electrolyte-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, they require highly functional solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and, therefore, many inorganic materials such as oxides of perovskite La2/3−xLi3xTiO3 (LLTO) and garnets La3Li7Zr2O12 (LLZO), sulfides Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS), and phosphates Li1+xAlxTi2−x(PO4)3x (LATP) are under investigation. Among these oxide materials, LLTO exhibits superior safety, wider electrochemical window (8 V vs. Li/Li+), and higher bulk conductivity values reaching in excess of 10−3 S cm−1 at ambient temperature, which is close to organic liquid-state electrolytes presently used in LIBs. However, recent studies focus primarily on composite or hybrid electrolytes that mix LLTO with organic polymeric materials. There are scarce studies of pure (100%) LLTO electrolytes in solid-state LMBs and there is a need to shed more light on this type of electrolyte and its potential for LMBs. Therefore, in our review, we first elaborated on the structure/property relationship between compositions of perovskites and their ionic conductivities. We then summarized current issues and some successful attempts for the fabrication of pure LLTO electrolytes. Their electrochemical and battery performances were also presented. We focused on tape casting as an effective method to prepare pure LLTO thin films that are compatible and can be easily integrated into existing roll-to-roll battery manufacturing processes. This review intends to shed some light on the design and manufacturing of LLTO for all-ceramic electrolytes towards safer and higher power density solid-state LMBs.

Abstract
High-quality solid electrolyte is the key to developing high-performance all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs). Herein, we report a thin composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) based on nanosized Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (N-LLZTO) and the PVDF-HFP matrix through a simple film-casting method. N-LLZTO induces partial dehydrofluorination of the poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) matrix that activates the coordination of Li+ with PVDF-HFP and LLZTO due to Lewis acid-base interactions, which facilitates dissociation of lithium salt to increase the Li+ carrier density. As a result, the as-fabricated composite polymer electrolyte with a 20 wt % N-LLZTO (CPE-20) membrane possesses high ionic conductivity (1.7 × 10-4 S cm-1), a high lithium-ion transference number (0.57), a wide electrochemical window (∼4.8 V), and good thermal stability. Moreover, the CPE-20 membrane displays excellent electrochemical stability to suppress the lithium dendrite and serves more than 2000 h. The solid-state Li|CPE-20|LiFePO4 pouch cells exhibit excellent cycling and rate performance, as well as high energy density. This study presents an effective strategy to design promising solid-state electrolyte for next-generation ASSLMBs.

To ensure the high energy density of SSBs, solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are required to be thin and light-weight, and simultaneously offer a wide electrochemical window to pair with high-voltage cathodes. However, the decrease of SSE thickness and delicate structure may increase the cell safety risks, which is detrimental for the practical application of SSBs. Herein, to demonstrate a high-energy-density SSB with sufficient safety insurance, an ultrathin (4.2 µm) bilayer SSE with porous ceramic scaffold and double-layer Li+ -conducting polymer, is proposed. The fire-resistant and stiff ceramic scaffold improves the safety capability and mechanical strength of the composite SSE, and the bilayer polymer structure enhances the compatibility of Li metal anode and high-voltage cathodes. The 3D ceramic facilitates Li-ion conduction and regulates Li deposition. Thus, high energy density of 506 Wh kg-1 and 1514 Wh L-1 is achieved based on LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 (NCM811) cathodes with a low N/P ratio and long lifespan over 3000 h. High-energy-density anode-free cells are further demonstrated.

Abstract
Oxide perovskites have emerged as an important class of materials with important applications in many technological areas, particularly thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and energy storage. However, their implementation faces numerous challenges that are familiar to the chemist and materials scientist. The present work surveys the state-of-the-art by integrating these two viewpoints, focusing on the critical role that defect engineering plays in the design, fabrication, modification, and application of these materials. An extensive review of experimental and simulation studies of the synthesis and performance of oxide perovskites and devices containing these materials is coupled with exposition of the fundamental and applied aspects of defect equilibria. The aim of this approach is to elucidate how these issues can be integrated in order to shed light on the interpretation of the data and what trajectories are suggested by them. This critical examination has revealed a number of areas in which the review can provide a greater understanding. These include considerations of (1) the nature and formation of solid solutions, (2) site filling and stoichiometry, (3) the rationale for the design of defective oxide perovskites, and (4) the complex mechanisms of charge compensation and charge transfer. The review concludes with some proposed strategies to address the challenges in the future development of oxide perovskites and their applications.

Abstract
With the low redox potential of -3.04 V (vs SHE) and ultrahigh theoretical capacity of 3862 mAh g-1 , lithium metal has been considered as promising anode material. However, lithium metal battery has ever suffered a trough in the past few decades due to its safety issues. Over the years, the limited energy density of the lithium-ion battery cannot meet the growing demands of the advanced energy storage devices. Therefore, lithium metal anodes receive renewed attention, which have the potential to achieve high-energy batteries. In this review, the history of the lithium anode is reviewed first. Then the failure mechanism of the lithium anode is analyzed, including dendrite, dead lithium, corrosion, and volume expansion of the lithium anode. Further, the strategies to alleviate the lithium anode issues in recent years are discussed emphatically. Eventually, remaining challenges of these strategies and possible research directions of lithium-anode modification are presented to inspire innovation of lithium anode.

Abstract
Metal anodes based on a plating/stripping electrochemistry such as metallic Li, Na, K, Zn, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al are recognized as promising anode materials for constructing next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable metal batteries owing to their low electrochemical potential, high theoretical specific capacity, superior electronic conductivity, etc. However, inherent issues such as high chemical reactivity, severe growth of dendrites, huge volume changes, and unstable interface largely impede their practical application. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives as emerging multifunctional materials have already well addressed the inherent issues of metal anodes in the past several years due to their abundant metallophilic functional groups, special inner channels, and controllable structures. COFs and their derivatives can solve the issues of metal anodes by interfacial modification, homogenizing ion flux, acting as nucleation seeds, reducing the corrosion of metal anodes, and so on. Nevertheless, related reviews are still absent. Here we present a detailed review of multifunctional COFs and their derivatives in metal anodes for rechargeable metal batteries. Meanwhile, some outlooks and opinions are put forward. We believe the review can catch the eyes of relevant researchers and supply some inspiration for future research.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are receiving increased attention due to their cost-effective and similar energy-storage mechanism to lithium-ion batteries. However, the lack of appropriate electrode materials is still hampered for their development, which is mainly caused by the large size of the potassium ions (1.38 Å) including low structural stability and poor electrochemical redox reaction kinetics. Herein, Co3 Se4 quantum dots (QD) encapsulated by N-doped carbon (CSC) are reported as an anode material for KIBs, in which a morphology change process occurs. Benefiting from the unique uniform nanostructure reducing the ion-diffusion length, the improved electronic conductivity, and the enhanced protective effect of N-doped carbon (NC) alleviating volume fluctuation, the CSC demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance. The core-shell-like CSC composite demonstrates remarkable discharge capacity (410 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 550 cycles, 360 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 3200 cycles) and excellent cyclic performance over 10 000 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Density functional theory calculations show a larger reaction energy of Co3 Se4 QD than bulk Co3 Se4 , a lower barrier of K atom migration in Co3 Se4 QD than bulk Co3 Se4 , and also favor the intercalation reaction rather than replacement reaction. In situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ transmission electron microscopy are further used to evaluate potassiation/depotassiation phenomena.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are expected to address the battery safety issues fundamentally by replacing the flammable electrolyte with solid electrolytes (SEs). However, recent studies report that the thermal runaway happened for NASICON-type SEs when they contact with Li metal at high temperature and indicate that the ASSBs may not be totally safe. Here, the thermal stability of a NASICON-type Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 (LATP) SE pellet against metallic lithium is quantified in a quasi-practical situation. Accelerated thermal runaway of the LATP pellet compared to LATP powder is observed when they contact with lithium. Combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray computed tomography analysis, lithium penetration into the pellet at high temperature has been observed. The penetrated lithium without surface impurities and the high reactivity of LATP at defect sites (atomic structural defects, cracks, voids, etc.) lead to higher interfacial reactivity and earlier thermal runaway. By adding LiPO2F2 to modify those defect sites of the LATP pellet and impede the lithium/SE interfacial reactions, the thermal runaway can be remarkably delayed. This work elucidates the thermal runaway behaviors of Li/LATP pellets in a quasi-practical environment, provides new information about safety issues of ASSBs, and inspires future investigations into this urgent-needed area.

Abstract
Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted great attention because of their high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, uncontrollable Li dendrite growth and significant volume expansion result in safety issues that largely limit their practical applications. Herein, we explore a microwave-assisted strategy for the rapid synthesis of vertically aligned metal hybrids on Cu foil (VAMH@CF). Such an elaborate architecture of VAMH provides a lithiophilic buffer layer after prelithiation, offering vast nucleation sites/seeds for Li deposition (Li@VAMH@CF) and lower nucleation overpotential. Consequently, Li@VAMH@CF exhibits an outstanding cyclability with a long lifespan (up to 5500 cycles) and a low voltage hysteresis (28 mV) in a symmetrical cell at 3 mA cm-2. LiFePO4||Li@VAMH@CF full cells deliver a reversible capacity of about 140 mAh g-1 for 200 cycles, further demonstrating opportunities of the microwave-involved strategy for optimizing Li-metal anodes.

Abstract
Li+-conductive ceramic oxide electrolytes, such as garnet-structured Li7La3Zr2O12, have been considered as promising candidates for realizing the next-generation solid-state Li-metal batteries with high energy density. Practically, the ceramic pellets sintered at elevated temperatures are often provided with high stiffness yet low fracture toughness, making them too brittle for the manufacture of thin-film electrolytes and strain-involved operation of solid-state batteries. The ceramic powder, though provided with ductility, does not yield satisfactorily high Li+ conductivity due to poor ion conduction at the boundaries of ceramic particles. Here we show, with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, that a uniform conjugated polymer nanocoating formed on the surface of ceramic oxide particles builds pathways for Li+ conduction between adjacent particles in the unsintered ceramics. A tape-casted thin-film electrolyte (thickness: <10 μm), prepared from the polymer-coated ceramic particles, exhibits sufficient ionic conductivity, a high Li+ transference number, and a broad electrochemical window to enable stable cycling of symmetric Li/Li cells and all-solid-state rechargeable Li-metal cells.

Abstract
The tremendous improvement in performance and cost of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have made them the technology of choice for electrical energy storage. While established battery chemistries and cell architectures for Li-ion batteries achieve good power and energy density, LIBs are unlikely to meet all the performance, cost, and scaling targets required for energy storage, in particular, in large-scale applications such as electrified transportation and grids. The demand to further reduce cost and/or increase energy density, as well as the growing concern related to natural resource needs for Li-ion have accelerated the investigation of so-called "beyond Li-ion" technologies. In this review, we will discuss the recent achievements, challenges, and opportunities of four important "beyond Li-ion" technologies: Na-ion batteries, K-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries, and multivalent batteries. The fundamental science behind the challenges, and potential solutions toward the goals of a low-cost and/or high-energy-density future, are discussed in detail for each technology. While it is unlikely that any given new technology will fully replace Li-ion in the near future, "beyond Li-ion" technologies should be thought of as opportunities for energy storage to grow into mid/large-scale applications.

Abstract
Current ceramic solid-state electrolyte (SSE) films have low ionic conductivities (10-8 to 10-5 S/cm ), attributed to the amorphous structure or volatile Li loss. Herein, we report a solution-based printing process followed by rapid (~3 s) high-temperature (~1500°C) reactive sintering for the fabrication of high-performance ceramic SSE films. The SSEs exhibit a dense, uniform structure and a superior ionic conductivity of up to 1 mS/cm. Furthermore, the fabrication time from precursor to final product is typically ~5 min, 10 to 100 times faster than conventional SSE syntheses. This printing and rapid sintering process also allows the layer-by-layer fabrication of multilayer structures without cross-contamination. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate a printed solid-state battery with conformal interfaces and excellent cycling stability. Our technique can be readily extended to other thin-film SSEs, which open previously unexplores opportunities in developing safe, high-performance solid-state batteries and other thin-film devices.

Abstract
The demand for solid lithium batteries with high energy density and safety boosts the development of solid-state electrolytes in which composite membrane electrolytes consisting of polymers and ceramic fillers are attractive. As the common ceramic filler, perovskite-structured Li0.33La0.557TiO3 (LLTO) has great advantage on cost and environmental friendliness by using earth-abundant raw materials in the production. Nevertheless, the chemical instability of LLTO against Li-metal hinders its application. Herein, LLTO particles are coated by biodegradable polydopamine (PDA) layers and united with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to prepare composite electrolytes which perform superior stability against Li-metal. Besides, PVDF:LLTO membranes are assembled at cathode sides and show high voltage tolerance. The Li/Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 cells with bilayer membrane electrolytes can deliver the specific capacity of 158.2 mAh g-1 and maintain 83% capacity after 100 cycles at 0.1 C. Furthermore, based on the bilayer membranes with outstanding flexibility and stretchability, the cells can even survive under several extreme conditions, such as bending, twisting, crimping, and stretching. This study offers an environmentally friendly strategy to improve the stability of LLTO against Li and sheds light on the development of cost-effective solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Electrode materials with high conductivity, strong chemisorption, and catalysis toward polysulfides are recognized as key factors for metal-sulfur batteries. Nevertheless, the construction of such functional material is a challenge for room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT-Na/S) batteries. Herein, a multiregion Janus-featured CoP-Co structure obtained via sequential carbonization-oxidation-phosphidation of heteroseed zeolitic imidazolate frameworks is introduced. The structural virtues include a heterostructure existing in a CoP-Co structure and a conductive network of N-doped porous carbon nanotube hollow cages (NCNHCs), endowing it with superior conductivity in both the short- and long-range and strong polarity toward polysulfides. Thus, the S@CoP-Co/NCNHC cathode exhibits superior electrochemical performance (448 mAh g-1 remained for 700 times cycling under 1 A g-1) and an optimized redox mechanism in polysulfides conversion. Density functional theory calculations present that the CoP-Co structure optimizes bond structure and bandwidth, whereas the pure CoP is lower than the corresponding Fermi level, which could essentially benefit the adsorptive capability and charge transfer from the CoP-Co surface to Na2Sx and therefore improve its affinity to polysulfides.
